To me, whilst the chaps in the video are incredibly skilled and all that, watching this is a bit like watching the England football squad practice set pieces, or Tiger Woods in a driving range. I much prefer something like Three Minute Gaps (which is essentially the story of the World Cup that year) or even watching the DH live.

its an amzing vid in its own rights... think a lot of you old men are missing the point.

I tried to like it - I watched it all the way to the end.

Still no idea what the point is - the voice over didn't say.....

The 1st half had loads of long shots of carving turns with a spec of a rider - great for the first 2 then a bit samey. The terrain meant they kept going into the dark. Some of the big drop gulleys seemed to miss the best bits on either helmet cam or film.

Later on it was just a repeat of the earlier stuff. Once they got a bit closer some stuff looked better, but was mostly a repeat. You could have scrambled the footage and still not known what was where.

It missed:
The humour of the NWD series.
The Art of Lifecycles
The Personalities in 3 Minute Gaps
The Variety in any other film

As an Old 33yo I may be missing something but the Dudes of Hazard was a better bike film

imo the point of this film is that we think mtb is a developed sport, but its not really. so much out there no one has ever riddin thay spent 2 years making that film and thay only slightly scratched the surface. big mountain biking pushes advances in both riding styles and bike tech. and to the guy who said

I'm be more impressed if they rode up those hills.

That's where 'real' mountain biking cam from

why whould thay ride when thay have a heli?? and some of those "hills" you would need climbing equipment to get up so even if thay had 10kg flimsy 4inch travel stream lined skinny tyred xc bikes thay would still have to carry the bikes

imo the point of this film is that we think mtb is a developed sport, but its not really. so much out there no one has ever riddin thay spent 2 years making that film and thay only slightly scratched the surface.

That was probably lost on me when they went round the world looking for places that were like Utah. Then rode the same style for the whole film. The cynic in me keeps thinking it's a nice warm up for the Red Bull Rampage...
